Subscribers to Foxtel, Austar and Optus TV will be able to choose the sports they want to watch from seven simultaneous digital channels throughout the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.
The coverage starts with replays of the Opening Ceremony on the evening of Wednesday March 15, and concludes in the early hours of Tuesday morning, March 28.
The unique coverage will be provided through Fox Sports, which has secured the exclusive subscription television rights to the Games.
The seven channels will be available to digital subscribers on Foxtel, Austar and Optus TV as part of a special Fox Sports pay-per-view subscription package.
Viewers will have access to every sport in the Commonwealth Games programme, and coverage will include live action of many sports, delayed broadcasts, full replays and daily highlights.
A state-of-the-art interactive application will also offer access to an additional unique multi-view channel, where each of the available channels can be viewed, along with an updating medal tally.
More than 1,180 hours of coverage will be available to viewers in Australia, compared to 230 hours of free-to-air coverage of the Manchester Games in 2002 and 230 hours of the Kuala Lumpur Games in 1998.
